Give Them Space
Most people don't want to have their baby in their living room, and neither do chameleons! When your chameleon is ready to lay their eggs, place them in a 10 gallon bucket filled up halfway with moist hatching soil. This gives them plenty of room to bury their eggs and makes it easy for you to retrieve them.
Move the Eggs
Fill a medium-sized tupperware about half way with your hatching soil. Be sure to label the lid with the date they were laid so you can have an idea of when they will hatch. Now dig out the eggs from the bucket and move them to the tupperware.
Place Them in the Incubator
Now you can move the clutch of eggs into the incubator. If you live in a place with fluctuating temperatures, you'll want to use a heating and cooling incubator to ensure your eggs are kept at the right temperature.
Watch Them Hatch
Hatching time may vary depending on the species of your chameleon, but typically it will take between seven and eight months. Once they are out and moving around, you can place them in a smaller enclosure for six months before transferring them to an adult sized tank. If you don't want to keep your baby chameleons, you can contact your local pet store to see if they would like to take them.
